What you can do to help save the Boissiere House

• Tell people the Boissiere House is in danger
• Forward the address of this web site to everyone you know who might be concerned
• Write a letter to the editor
• If you work in the media, try to get your newspaper or station to run a story
• If you have a blog, write something there
• Put a "Save the Boissiere House" badge on your blog or web site. Get the code here.
• If you own a camera, stop by 12 Queen's Park West, take some photos, post them online, or just forward them to friends
• If you know someone in the Ministry of Culture, tell them you're concerned and ask them to speak to their superior about saving the Boissiere House
• Call Town and Country and urge them not to give planning permission for a new building on this site
• Call the National Trust and ask what you can do to help (tel 868-623-5941 or 868-624-6477)
• If you know a politician of any party on any level, tell them you're concerned and ask them to talk to their party leadership
• Read about the history of the house in Olga Mavrogordato's book Voices in the Street, or John Newel Lewis's book Ajoupa, and share this with others
• Come to the event being planned at Alice Yard (80 Roberts Street, Woodbrook) on Friday 22 February to discuss why this and other historic buildings are worth preserving.
• Write to boissierehouse@gmail.com and tell us you'd like to be on a mailing list to hear about further efforts
• If you know a member of the Boissiere family that owns the house, ask them to consider putting a no-demolition clause in the sale contract, or to negotiate with the government to arrive at a reasonable sale price that might make it easier to save the building
• And if you are a multi-millionaire property developer, consider doing something truly enlightened: buy the house, pay to have it restored, put it to some use that will not damage its fabric
